Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 161 Dragon God Gold, Mysterious Heaven Technique
"The destructive power of a Soul Saint... but it seems to be far from reaching the level of the true form."

Huo Yuhao picked up Ye Wuqing and threw him off the stage. A golden mist slowly spread from Ye Wuqing's right arm, which had been stripped of its outer layer of skin and flesh. The remaining destructive power evaporated rapidly under the drive of soul power, squeezing out the flesh.

Ye Wuqing's attack was indeed powerful enough to peel off a layer of skin from Huo Yuhao's body, which had already reached the Soul Saint level.

'But...it seems a bit...weak?'

Huo Yuhao moved his arms with a strange look in his eyes.

With stable meridians and strong muscles, there was no deeper damage beyond the surface blood and gore.

If I had to describe it, the attack would be more like a judgment; the parts that can be destroyed would be blown to pieces during the attack, but as soon as it slightly exceeds its killing limit, it would immediately reveal its true form.

Even now, his finger bones haven't suffered much damage from a direct clash with the Golden Palm.

"Devastating destructive power..."

The Snow Emperor in her mind rarely released a wisp of spiritual consciousness, guiding a wisp of golden energy back to her sea of ​​spirit. However, after glancing at it a few times, she let go with some disappointment, allowing it to dissipate.
"This power should be extracted from the golden bloodline. Destruction is its forte, and anything that cannot withstand it will be completely worn away by its characteristics."

"This characteristic is like ice that freezes by itself, like fire that burns by itself, like lightning that paralyzes by itself; it is impossible to defend against and impossible to stop."

pity.

What Ye Wuqing released was only a tiny bit of his true intent, which could not be considered true destructive power at all, and collecting it would be of no use.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If he could really unleash destructive power, how could Huo Yuhao's body withstand that level of wear and tear? At that point, even if he didn't want to expose his second martial soul, he would be forced to possess it.

"Golden Bloodline..."

As he pronounced the somewhat unfamiliar term, a look of confusion flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes: "There is such a thing?"

He had only heard of things like golden tortoiseshell, golden tree, or golden dragon. Could it be that all these creatures shared the same bloodline?
"..."

These aren't even the same race! Are soul beasts really that magical?

"This is a rather complicated topic to explain..."

Xue Di sighed with a headache: "Speaking of these things, we have to talk about that Dragon God. He is not only the ruler of the Dragon Clan, but also considered the supreme god of the Soul Beast Clan."

"Later, for some unknown reason, the Dragon God split into two, and the original power was also decomposed into two Dragon Kings, the Gold Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. In the process, a lot of power was lost and absorbed by other beings."

"From then on, all those who benefited from it claimed to be the true heirs of the Dragon God, possessing blessings directly derived from him, and all took pride in this so-called noble bloodline..."

"It sounds like a myth."

Listening to Xue Di's account, Huo Yuhao felt it was somewhat unbelievable: "The fact that mere scattered power could cause a soul beast to undergo a transformation... isn't that power a bit too strong..."

Are gods in their complete form really that powerful?

"Who knows..."

Xue Di shrugged, her gaze fixed undisguisedly on Tian Meng: "Perhaps there are vast differences among the gods? And then, the Dragon God happens to be at the upper level, far stronger than ordinary gods?"

She didn't really know much about the gods; she could only vaguely sense the terrifyingly high lower limit of their power.

But Tianmeng—

Their skill floor is indeed quite frightening.

"Alright. You'll come into contact with these things eventually, it's a bit too early to talk about them now."

The Snow Empress gently pointed a finger, manipulating the snow lotus to release a ball of primordial energy, which she poured into Huo Yuhao's arm: "...You've lost so much blood, and you still need to grow back. What are we going to do if this keeps happening..."

She wasn't a soul beast with life attributes like the Emerald Swan, nor did she possess any so-called blood and qi power, so she couldn't replenish the deficiencies in Huo Yuhao's body. "Don't worry. A solution has already been prepared in advance."

Huo Yuhao smiled, swinging his muscular, bare arm, drawing out a few strands of his soul power to cover the surface and condense into a protective layer for his arm: "Now is the time to eat!"

The Mysterious Heaven Skill drives soul power to promote digestion and absorption.

External spiritual energy can also be delivered to the limbs and bones to enhance the physical body.

In addition, there's a small stove filled with thousands-year-old and tens-of-thousands-year-old soul beasts.

The three elements thus formed a perfect closed loop. Although it was extremely costly and difficult to improve, it still allowed his physical strength to continuously increase.

Furthermore, since there are few bottlenecks in physical cultivation, reaching level 80 is not an unattainable goal.

"Master...please slow down...don't go so fast..."

Nana stood anxiously by the table.

Huo Yuhao ignored him, starving like a ghost, lying on the table trying his best to absorb nutrients, devouring everything, whether it was meat, vegetables, soup, or stir-fry.

Even the bones mixed in with the meat were chewed up and swallowed in a few bites, making Nana's teeth ache: 'Such powerful teeth... no, I should say such a powerful body.'

Full of vitality and energy...

"Chi~"

As numerous foods imbued with soul power were stuffed into his body, and rapidly refined through the circulation of his cultivation technique, Huo Yuhao's body visibly swelled up, with scorching white steam rising from his skin.

Even the skin and flesh on the arm that had been blown to smithereens were gradually repaired and slowly healed during this feast.

Judging from the looks of it, he could recover to normal within two weeks even without the help of a healing-type Soul Master.

Stimulated by the injury, the Xuan Tian Gong seemed to operate even faster, and the flesh and blood of the soul beast that fell into its stomach were fully squeezed, extracting the vast majority of its energy.

How many functions of this cultivation technique are still undeveloped?

After hesitating for a long time, Tianmeng finally asked a soul-searching question.

"do not know."

Huo Yuhao pushed out a stack of empty plates and replaced them with a bowl of meat soup to end this lavish feast: "However, its many functions must be supported by compatibility, right?"

When combined with soul power, it can nourish the meridians.

When combined with running laps, it can unleash its potential.

When injured, it can promote repair, and during combat, it will show a certain degree of endurance and post-battle recovery.

Although its various functions are not particularly outstanding, it is still much better than a blank slate with no enhancements, making it a basic yet all-around special skill.

"And...it must be missing something."

Looking at his reflection in the soup, Huo Yuhao felt an even stronger sense of loss. The idea that "only half of the Mysterious Heaven Skill remains" had transformed from a vague conjecture into an accurate judgment.

After all, this is a technique that only circulates through the body's core, but cannot connect the meridians or reach the limbs and bones.

"Perhaps the hidden part of the technique is where its true secret lies?"
